Choosing appropriate activities for your kids is definitely not an easy task to do. There are numerous things that you will have to consider besides managing all the hustle and bustle of house responsibilities.
When you are occupied with other stuff, you often tend to easily allow your children to play with anything they want. Your three-year old daughter might be playing with Legos, constructing small houses.
She might be enjoying herself while playing but also putting herself into risk. For one she might unintentionally swallow a Lego piece without you observing and you may not know until she starts complaining of stomach ache. Or your cute little daughter might be playing with stuffed toys which are too large for her. For this summer vacation, you can also have a look at list of kids activities in Sacramento at http://sacramento4kids.com/.
As a parent you must spend time to analyze the playing requirements of your child to avoid any type mishappenings that could cause harm to your child. This can be the best thing to do to ensure that your kids are safe. Without compromising the safety of your kid you should know what makes your kid happy.
You can watch a hilarious video or a show with your child, say, Dora the Explorer or Sesame Street. You can also browse http://sacramento4kids.com/spring-break-activities-near-sacramento/ to have a look at spring break activities in which you can indulge your child.
While watching the show, you will be having a great opportunity to observe what makes your child laugh or what makes them unhappy. It can be Elmo's joviality making them happy or some Monster's loud voice which makes them scared or sad. Take note of these minor things as it will help you decide what fun activities you can put your kid into.
Watch humorous shows with your children. If they don't like the dancing and singing with the Sesame Street, then Dora will definitely going to hold their attention and your kids will definitely pick some of their qualities while watching out them. If they try to sing with Dora or dance with Boots, it's a good indication.
It shows that your kid wants to lead and is keen to take some directives from others, particularly somebody who is older to them. If your child shows interest while singing with Diego, do hand movements when Swiper is around shouting, "Swiper no swiping! Swiper no Swiping!". You can say your child likes activities which have communication with question and answer portion.

Fault prevention includes iterative refinement of the system requirements and engineering software specifications with modeling, verifiable design techniques, and best-of-breed coding practices. Prevention occurs during the product development phases of a project where the requirements, design, and implementation are occurring. At this point in the product development the project team has finished exploring and initially planning, and the team is now executing. Fault prevention is an active part of the development process, not a mere passive recording effort. The first section of fault prevention is system exploration and requirements, as described previously. The initial steps are required for analysis of the reliability requirements and objectives no matter which approach is taken for reliability.
The second major piece of fault prevention approach is design and implementation. Focusing on design and implementation first causes the project team to allocate reliability among components. "Analysis and Design Methods" discusses several methods for allocation of quality attributes to components. The design process is where the components to be built are identified. Techniques of reducing coupling and increasing cohesion within and between modules are ways to increase reliability of components. Best practices in design, whether structured or object-oriented, must be adopted to have any hope of building reliable software products.
During the early phases of the softwa2re development life cycle, reliability objectives focus on prevention. Table 1 shows the subprocesses of the major front-end life cycle phases that support prevention.

Mixing business and personal credit… or not.
Trippeo has worked hard to make your expense management easy. But when you mix company money with your personal expenses, even the best design can get muddled. What's why we here at Trippeo have built a little feature that lets you determine whether your individual cards are for Business or Personal use. What does it mean? Any charge rendered on a Business card won't be able to be deleted from the Trippeo account. Charges rendered on your personal card are yours, and can be updated or deleted according to your preference. Here's how it works:
Your admin will determine whether Personal cards are allowed on your company Trippeo account. If they are, great and read on! If not, all transactions will have incurred from a company credit card, and typically won't be able to be deleted from the Trippeo interface.
If you are able to add Personal cards to your Trippeo account, you'll be asked to determine whether the [card you are adding] is a Personal or Company card. Once your personal card is synced with your account, any transactions you make will be loaded into the Expenses section of Trippeo. So if you've made a purchase that you can expense on your personal card, no problem: it's there waiting for you.
And did you know, Trippeo supports over 15,000 global banks and credit cards? So if you haven't activated automatic credit card expense tracking to your Trippeo account yet, get started HERE.

The English Translation Sample (based on my Chinese translation)
Chapter 1
1. I Dao [Truth] can be talked about [described or theorized] in any manner each person considers feasible, though hardly any of these descriptions will be perpetually valid; Names [Descriptions] can be ascribed to Dao in any manner each person deems workable], yet hardly of these will last forever.
1. II In the beginning it is beyond us that the world and the universe [Heaven and Earth] were nameless [both inexplicable and indescribable];
[Nevertheless,] whatever happened to be possibly named [described] by us are the mother [origin of the descriptions of] myriad [all and every] things and creatures.
1. III Accordingly,
I constantly refrain from my selfish [subjective] desires, In order to explore [objectively] the manifested wonder of it [Nature];
I also constantly maintain my volition [to seek objective know ledge], in order to pursue its [Nature's] deep seeded enigma.
1. IV These two [Dao and De] were originated from the same source, but they were described with different names by us.
They are both depicted as profound [and intricate in each of its own right]; The profundity [complexity] intensifies as we fathom its wonders further and deeper;
It will eventually, [lead us)] to the gateway of all mysteries.
Chapter 2
2.I In our world: When there was a consensus on what should be judged as beautiful, a convention on what should be disliked [as ugly] was brought in based on convention of such correlations; When there was an agreement on what should be deemed good, a conventional criterion on what was evil [not good] was thus decided upon.
2.II Accordingly, [the following contrasting concepts were formulated because of their relativity]:
Existence [being] and non-existence [nothing] are dependent [concepts] on each other;
Difficulty and easiness are determined by comparison;
Long and short are conjointly formulated;
High and low owe their existence to their relative positions [to the observer];
Melody and noise are distinguished by [the rule whether a stream of sounds has internal harmonization];
Front and back are joined together by respective positions [of objects to the observer].
80.0 [Ideally, if the world could be made into a paradise]
States should be independent small countries sparsely populated;
Even though there are utensils big enough to serve tens or hundreds of people there is never any need to use them;
81.II A Sage does not accumulate [goods and properties];
He adheres to the principle that the more he helps others, the more [De] he gains;
The more he gives, the more abundant [De] he aggregates;
The highest(heavenly) Tao is to do good to [others] without harming them;
The way of a Sage is to pursue [the happiness for others] without contesting them [for worldly Gains].

Rich Hanson is the government and regulatory affairs specialist for the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA is the world's largest model aviation association with a membership in excess of 175,000.
Third Law Sports spoke to Rich about the rules and regulations surrounding drone racing.
Third Law Sports: When and where did you hear about drone racing? Have you attended many races yourself?
Rich: Absolutely, we're trying to support this new aspect of the hobby. Just two weekends ago I officiated at the Hawaii State Championship for FPV Racing but I first heard about the sport a little under two years ago. I officiated the first world championships in Sacramento last summer. It was shortly before this that we first got wind of it.
Flying FPV, as opposed to FPV racing of course, has been around for quite some time. I was first introduced to that back in the 1990s.
Third Law Sports: Has AMA changed any guidelines or rules because of drone racing?
Rich: We have some basic rules about flying FPV in general; these have been in place for five or six years now. In terms of the racing side of things what we look at primarily is the safety aspect.
This comes in a variety of forms from the protecting of bystanders and where to place the starting gates and the like. The actual race procedures themselves are more fluid, and like any other new activity there are several different ideas and debates at play. For now we try to stay out of this. We leave it to those involved first hand with the passion, energy and enthusiasm to flesh these out and determine which is best course of action.
We're primarily concerned with risk assessment and that all the potential dangers have been evaluated and taken care of.
Third Law Sports: Who does the AMA work with to help make sure all FPV pilots are registered and the competitions are fair?
Rich: The FAA, our aviation authority, has got involved from the standpoint of safety and they've asked us to shepherd this new activity. This is first from a safety standpoint (Know Before You Fly education website) and then down the line, bringing it all together and coming to a consensus of the rules and methodology for conducting the races.
We aim to bring the leaders in the field together to standardise the rules in order to regulate this throughout the country, so local, regional and national competitions maintain the same rule set. We've been working with both Chris Thomas and the MultiGP team in addition to Scot Refsland, in addition to numerous smaller, locally aimed groups to achieve this goal.
Third Law Sports: Is there any legislation we should be aware of that might be coming in the near future that will impact drone racing?
Rich: The US Congress is currently working on a new FAA reauthorisation bill but what's been proposed so far is focused more on drone legislation, that is the bigger issue and general recreational use. FPV Racing is specific enough that I don't believe these rules will have much effect on the sport itself.
One proposal which could affect them has been that recreational fliers should have to take a knowledge test. This of course has the potential to affect drone racing pilots but we don't believe it will get passed, nor that it's necessary.
The format would be in the form of an online multiple choice test, and is unlikely to be too formidable.
One alternative we've suggested is that if there has to be a test, then let the AMA create and administer it as we have a superior knowledge base on what and who needs to be tested rather than just making it a blanket test.
Third Law Sports: Any advice for pilots and organisations out there for working with local authorities to fly safely and without being hassled?
Rich: As far as drone racing is concerned it's very low altitude so as far as air space issues are concerned, these are almost insignificant.
The biggest safety concern is of course about protecting bystanders. The main advice that we have is setting up the course effectively. This includes netting and the positioning of gates, whilst there's also the potential for protective gear such as headsets and eye protection. Those participating are naturally more at risk but you still want to make sure that they're in the best position they can be to effectively participate in the hobby.
The FAA is pretty receptive to the risk based approach that they want people to take, and the most important thing is being able to demonstrate to them that this has been accomplished.
– – – – – – –
The Academy of Model Aeronautics is deeply involved in the growth and proper use of drones. They recently analyzed the FAA list of "drone sightings" from the last half of 2015 to the end of March 31st and discovered that only 3.3% of sightings could be considered a "close call".
But the FAA spokesman stated "The use of the phrase 'close calls' is simply part of a news headline; there is no regulatory definition of 'close call.'"
Other good bits from the analysis include this report: "DAL1086 MD90 reported a large bird or drone 2 miles east of LGA."

Mark 15:1-15 Living Bible (TLB)
15 Early in the morning the chief priests, elders and teachers of religion—the entire Supreme Court—met to discuss their next steps. Their decision was to send Jesus under armed guard to Pilate, the Roman governor.[a]
2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
"Yes," Jesus replied, "it is as you say."
3-4 Then the chief priests accused him of many crimes, and Pilate asked him, "Why don't you say something? What about all these charges against you?"
5 But Jesus said no more, much to Pilate's amazement.
6 Now, it was Pilate's custom to release one Jewish prisoner each year at Passover time—any prisoner the people requested. 7 One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, convicted along with others for murder during an insurrection.
8 Now a mob began to crowd in toward Pilate, asking him to release a prisoner as usual.
9 "How about giving you the 'King of Jews'?" Pilate asked. "Is he the one you want released?" 10 (For he realized by now that this was a frameup, backed by the chief priests because they envied Jesus' popularity.)
11 But at this point the chief priests whipped up the mob to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus.
12 "But if I release Barabbas," Pilate asked them, "what shall I do with this man you call your king?"
13 They shouted back, "Crucify him!"
14 "But why?" Pilate demanded. "What has he done wrong?" They only roared the louder, "Crucify him!"
15 Then Pilate, afraid of a riot and anxious to please the people, released Barabbas to them. And he ordered Jesus flogged with a leaded whip, and handed him over to be crucified.

A HUGE THANKS to everyone who contributed food and money to the Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard (IKC) Spring Challenge! We sent a check to the cupboard for $877 and donated a total of 251 food items, putting us just over last year's figure. Thanks to you and the IKC's other supporting congregations, the Cupboard will go into the heavy summer months well placed to distribute lots of good food to Ithaca's less advantaged population. Please see Debbie Novelli (539-6628) if you would like to help in the Cupboard on one of our regular second Tuesdays of the month.

Forest Home Chapel members and friends continue their faithful commitment to be a friendly, growing, spiritual home for young Christians. The last week of August, ten resourceful Chapel adults conducted Church Day Camp for 17 young Chapel members and their friends, with Bible lessons, songs, crafts, games, visitors, cooking lessons and healthy snacks, all centered on the theme of "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord." We are most indebted and thankful for the inspired joint leadership of retired elementary school Principal Sue Reid and Pastor Rebecca Dolch. Jack Reid led us in song, and enjoyed the children's company during breakout activities.
Our mission offering went to Heifer International (www.heifer.org). Some of the children presented Heifer "success stories" about families worldwide, who benefited from gifts of chickens, fish, fruit trees, or milk cows. We saw our children growing in maturity and expression, as well as forming closer friendships with each other, a most desired goal of our leaders. The mood was happy, relaxed, and unhurried, a last camp for the kids before school starts. We're so thankful for our beloved children and Chapel families.
January 23, 2014
On November 11, 2013, Chapel members of all ages gathered, sticky-notes and pencils ready, to discern priorities for the coming year and beyond. Afterwards, Pastor Rebecca Dolch and new Church Council Chairwoman Sue Reid compiled a four-page list of all the suggestions offered during that Vision Day, for further strengthening our ministry together and beyond our congregation.
This January 15, the Chapel's Church Council reviewed the congregation's suggestions on priorities in four major areas below. The full minutes of the council meeting may be downloaded here.
Fellowship hall remodeling, sanctuary air conditioning, parking lot improvement, and determining the feasibility of putting in an upstairs bath and an elevator were high priorities.
The motion was made and passed to form the Fellowship Hall Refurbishing Exploration Team, authorized to create a scope of work (elevator excluded, due to very high costs), to look at the needs of all groups using the hall, identify constraints, and obtain cost estimates. Mark Sawyer will head this team; Mary Bowes will also serve.
Parking improvement ideas will also be pursued. Phil Walker and Sally Grubb will lead.
The Reconciling Congregation Exploration Team, headed by Wendy Millroy, will continue to listen to members of the congregation in ways that all will feel heard and cared for.
The Council authorized the formation of a Congregational Care Team, its function to quickly respond to members who need and desire presence and or help. Carol Hockett has tentatively agreed to help form and lead this team.
We will also keep conference Volunteer In Mission projects as possibilities for our congregation.
We will plan and implement Forest Home Chapel's 100th anniversary, with history, celebration, and other events suggested by Chapel members. Bill Tomek, Elizabeth Mount and Christy Croxall will lead a History Team. Others will be needed to lead an Events Team.
Because we are such a growing community, Rebecca and Sue have asked that we create a notebook with job descriptions of all volunteer jobs and teams. They will compile the list, with assistance from Susan Spear.
The spiritual life of the Chapel continues to thrive! Bible studies, new member training, special programs and events, book studies, and children's ministries all continue to be priorities. We will work to include more people in worship services. The Spiritual Life Team will work with Rebecca in these areas.

The upper Forest Home Drive Bridge closure over Fall Creek has resulted in detours and no access to Forest Chapel from the Cornell Vet School direction — Caldwell Road, Plantations Road or Forest Home Drive from Route 366. To reach the Chapel, visitors must now come via Warren Road, Pleasant Grove Road, or across the lower Forest Home Drive Bridge and Judd Falls Road. For map details go to http://goo.gl/TmoZC0.
With careful planning and neighborhood support, the closure of the upper bridge in Forest Home should not discourage us from Sunday worship at Forest Home Chapel.
If you are a first time visitor to the Chapel, please park in our parking lot opposite the Church. There will always be spots held for visitors and newcomers. If you start coming regularly, email email@example.com for an assigned parking spot.
If you need help parking on a Sunday, check in with one of our friendly parking czars for assistance.
Through the ingenuity and hard work of Sally Grubb and the generosity of Forest Home neighbors, there are places for everyone to park near the Chapel.

Over 100 UW–Stout students were surveyed to see what their plans and thoughts were for this year's Halloween holiday.
What is your costume this year?
Need an idea? Well, below should spark some inspiration!
- Spice Girls with my roomies! We're each a different spice, like cinnamon, curry, and paprika… punny, right? 😉
- I wanted it to be the Other Mother from Coraline
- Broke College Student
- Same as last year: ghost
- Ambiguous Green Gentleman
- I'll go as myself… Pretty scary, right?
- Penguin
What is your favorite Halloween treat?
Below are the top four Halloween treats selected and the number of students who chose this chocolate treat! If I may say so myself, Reese's is delicious.
- Reese's-21
- Twix-12
- Kit Kat-9
- Milkyway-6
What is your favorite scary movie?
- Hocus Pocus-12
- The Conjuring-6
- The Ring-3
- Scream-3
However, 17 students answered that they were not a fan of scary movies. I get it, I will never watch The Exorcist again…
Four brave students answered that they would rather be chased by a clown. They deserve a pat on the back.
For those who don't know what the black-flamed candle is, I would suggest watching Hocus Pocus.
Have a happy and safe Halloween, Stouties!

"Now can I drown an eye unused to flow
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night".
Charlie and I had talked over the years about making a record together but had never got around to it. Driving to a friend's funeral last year and discussing the songs we'd played at other such occasions, separately and together, finally gave us our frame. Songs mostly written by others – Cole Porter, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Hank Williams, Lennon/McCartney – and some traditional.
We enlisted J Walker with whom I'd worked with previously on Spring and Fall to engineer and co-produce the recording, taking over Charlie's house at Arthurs Seat for a week at the end of February. We kept the sound live and sparse, just the two of us, except for the occasional vocal by family members – my sister Mary Jo and my daughters Maddy and Memphis.
I stuck to singing and playing acoustic guitar. Charlie was the swing man, playing dobro, lap steel, electric guitar, synthesizer and piano. I managed to talk him into singing some harmonies too.
It's interesting to look at the kinds of songs people request at funerals. They're not always sad, of course. They tend towards the philosophical, wide and deep in scope.

Dangerous Ingredients in Todays Personal Care Products
Dangerous Beauty:
Why Sweet Sunnah does not use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Right now, please check the ingredients on your shampoo, your shower gel and your toothpaste for this ingredient!
How safe is your shampoo? Do you ever consider the chemicals and ingredients that have become "household names" these days? Consider the following article that discusses the safety of sodium lauryl sulfate. Sweet Sunnah Black Seed Herbals provides this in the interest of your good health. There is no SLS in any of our products.
"DANGEROUS BEAUTY: Scientists Warn of Harmful Ingredients in Our Shampoos and Cosmetics" by David Lowell Kern:
New health concerns are being raised over some common ingredients in hair shampoos, skin creams, toothpastes, and other personal care items. Researchers in the U. S., Germany, Switzerland, Japan, found these ingredients may be linked to premature baldness, cataracts, environmental cancers, contact dermatitis, and possible eye damage in young children.
SLS and Eye Damage in Young Children:
The greatest concern of many scientists is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a detergent found in about 90 percent of commercial shampoos. Also known as sodium dodecyl, sodium laureth sulfate (SLFS) this chemical has been shown to damage protein formation in eye tissue in young animals, raising serious concerns about the possibility of ocular tissue malformation, blindness in infants and young children. In animal studies, SLS penetration and uptake is much greater in neonatal and young animal eye tissue, compared to adult animals, showing "penetration into the eye, as well as systemic tissues (brain, heart, liver, etc.)" SLS also showed long-term retention in tissues, up to 5 days after a single drop.
Researcher Keith Green, Ph.D., D. Sc., of the Medical College of Georgia, also reports that SLS extends the healing of corneal tissue by a factor of 5, from 2 days (normal) to more than 10 days. He also has concerns about cataract formation from SLS. Writing for Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc., Dr. Green states in part: "There is an immediate concern relating to the penetration of these chemicals into the eye and other tissues. This is especially important in infants...exposure to SLS results in accumulation in eye tissues, a process that
could retard healing and possibly have long-term effects." Dr. Green concludes that exposure to SLS sulfate causes improper eye development in children and that since SLS is absorbed systemically through the skin, it doesn't have to enter the eye directly. Our own research found that SLS is present as a main ingredient in most commercial shampoos for adults or children.
SLS Toxicity and Cancer:
Another serious health concern with SLS is its tendency to react with other ingredients to form NDELA, a nitrosamine and potent carcinogen. According to a 1978 FDA report, shampooing the hair with a product contaminated with this nitrosamine can lead to its absorption into the body at levels much higher than eating nitrate-contaminated foods. (Researchers estimate the nitrate absorption from one shampoo is equal to eating a pound of bacon.) The FDA has recently warned shampoo manufacturers of unacceptable levels of dioxin formation in products containing SLFS (dioxins are also dangerous carcinogenic compounds). Only laboratory testing can determine if a shampoo is contaminated with these powerful carcinogenic compounds.
Damage to Your Skin:
Researchers have known for years that SLS is a skin irritant. SLS is used as a laboratory standard for irritating skin and inducing contact dermatitis. SLS is useful to lab testing "because of its ability to penetrate and impair the skin barrier. SLS damages the skin barrier functions, enhances allergic response to other toxins and allergens, damages, and alters skin cells, causes substantial roughness to the skin, results in severe modification of skin recombinant structure. SLS is listed as toxic to skin in many studies. In patients with seborrhea and eczema, SLS increases irritant reactions and susceptibility. SLS is indicated in migration of Langerhans cells to regional lymph sites in contact dermatitis, explaining lymph node inflammation in some cases. (A systemic response is clearly indicated.) Research also found that fair skin is more susceptible to SLS irritations, as is skin with existing eczema even where the eczema is not local to the SLS contact.
SLS and Premature Hair Loss:
SLS is implicated in premature hair loss in men and women, and may be one reason for wide-spread incidence of thinning hair. Because SLS is such a caustic cleanser, it actually corrodes the hair follicle and impairs its ability to grow hair. SLES (sodium lauryl ether sulfate) causes dramatic decline in the hair growth cycle, and prolongs the hair loss phase (normally 3 months) by a factor of eight. Simply removing this ingredient and it's corrosive and irritating effects, begins to restore the natural, healthy function of the follicle.
SLS is also implicated in scalp irritation, eczema, dandruff, and other scalp conditions. Many shampoos designed to alleviate dandruff, itching, and other scalp disorders may actually be causing the toxicity of SLS-containing formulas to the skin and scalp. Avoiding contact with this cytotoxic (cell-killing) chemical is all that many people require to completely alleviate scalp disorders.
"Natural" Brands Offer No Protection:
Ingredient reviews of shampoos sold in health food stores under "natural" brands and labels have turned up many formulas containing SLS. The cost, reputation, or market position of a shampoo apparently has little to do with its contents. Some of the most reputable and exclusive brands contain SLS. Don't be fooled by high prices or marketing hype. You must check the ingredients on each product if you want to avoid the harmful effects of SLS.
What You Should Do:
Check your shampoos, toothpaste, liquid soaps, body gels, and other skin products for sodium lauryl sulfate. We recommend that you avoid any further skin contact with products containing this ingredient. If you have children, make sure they are not using shampoos and toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate. Children under 6 are especially vulnerable to improper eye development. Also check sunblock products. (We found one that contains SLS and aluminum, a potentially dangerous combination for brain cell deterioration.) Replace products containing SLS with safe alternatives (formulas without SLS). Check all your cosmetic products for propylene glycol, and get them off your skin. If you have infants, check your baby wipes and baby lotions, and find alternative products that are safe for children (some baby wipes are available with aloe instead of propylene glycol).

Readers comment on the biomass plant, public unions, saving animals and more.
Biomass backers ignore the facts
Promoters of the tree-burning biomass power plant, including The Sun (editorial, March 18), cling to myths and falsehoods and selectively ignore facts.
Here are just three of many examples.
1. This is not "clean, green energy." The tree-burner will put out 6 times more CO2 than would a modern natural gas plant.
2. Public input was ignored in the approval process. When city commissioners voted for the biomass project (May 12, 2008), they overruled the overwhelming majority of citizens who spoke at the meeting.
3. Hundreds of millions of ratepayer dollars will be wasted by foolishly replacing our older power plants. In 2009 over $140 million was invested in our current plant to add modern, state-of-the-art air pollution emission controls. The improved Deerhaven plant has many decades of useful life ahead.
Only politics, stubbornness and subsidies are driving this proposal forward.
Dick Stokes,
Why single out public employee unions?
Representative Scott Plakon has offered up HB 1023, which would require a recertification vote for public sector unions that do not have at least 50 percent of a bargaining unit's members actually choosing to join the union required to represent them.
Plakon argues that with a membership of less than 50 percent, the union has no credible claim to continue as a bargaining representative that local or state public entities (such as UF) should be compelled to recognize.
But why are other state and local representative bodies not also asked to periodically demonstrate their numbers of dues paying members as being more than 50 percent of those eligible for membership?
Organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce or Associated Industries of Florida, are regularly called on to give input on public policy. By what "common sense" measure (other than their campaign contributions) does Plakon accept their claims to be representative?
Dave Hennig,
How to stop needless animal killings
More than 4 million pets are killed in shelters each year across the U.S. That's one every eight seconds.
Homeless animals are euthanized at shelters because there are more pets entering shelters every day and only limited space and time to find them a home.
Spaying and neutering your pet will give you peace of mind knowing that its offspring won't be put down in a shelter. Your pet will be healthier, live longer and have less chance of fighting or roaming.
Operation PetSnip can fix cats for only $40 each and dogs for only $60 each. Call 352-376-6647 for more information. Help save a life!

Obama has no idea what he's doing
Is it obvious that Obama has no proper idea how to run this country. Annual trillion dollar deficit budgets, multi-trillion dollar bank bailouts, Treasury printing presses running at record speed, bogus unemployment numbers, a likely unconstitutional health care bill that is so flawed he has already exempted over 1,000 businesses and more.
And now the Nobel Prize winner has plunged us into a third Mideast war, conveniently started while Congress was not in session nor even consulted.
Either he is intentionally trying to ruin this country or he is totally inept. I shudder to think what the second half of his term will look like if this dithering Nero continues to play his fiddle while the world burns around him.
Ben Butler,
It turns out that nothing can be cut
After reading opinion columns and letters to editors in several publications I have reached a conclusion: Not one dollar can be cut from the federal or state budget without catastrophic consequences. Who knew?

Leon McAuliffe (January 3, 1917 – August 20, 1988), born William Leon McAuliffe, was an American Western swing musician from Houston, Texas. He is famous for his steel guitar solos with Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys, inspiring Wills's phrase, "Take it away, Leon."
McAuliffe, at age 16, first played with the Light Crust Doughboys, playing both rhythm guitar and steel guitar. In 1935, at age 18, he went on to play with Bob Wills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He stayed with Wills until World War II. While with Wills he helped compose "San Antonio Rose". He is more noted, however, for his most famous composition, "Steel Guitar Rag", and his playing, along with that of [Bob Dunn (musician)|Robert Lee Dunn] (Milton Brown's Musical Brownies), that popularized the steel guitar in the United States. His playing (and Dunn's) is also credited with inspiring the rhythm and blues electric guitar style occurring some twenty years later.
After the war, McAuliffe returned to Tulsa, forming his Western swing band and releasing a number of recordings, including "Panhandle Rag" (Columbia 20546) which reached number six in 1949. McAuliffe soon opened his Cimarron Ballroom in the remodeled Akdar Shrine Mosque in Tulsa. He and his band, Leon McAuliffe and His Cimarron Boys, named for the ballroom, recorded several songs. He also opened a recording studio, Cimarron Records.
In the late 1950s, he appeared on ABC-TV's Jubilee USA and other broadcasts. McAuliffe funded a music program at Rogers State College in Claremore, Oklahoma, paying for a recording studio and office on campus. It was from this studio and office that Junior Brown taught guitar and met his wife Tanya Rae. McAuliffe was always giving to his students, featuring them in his concerts around northeastern Oklahoma. He died after a long illness on August 20, 1988 in Tulsa. The studio gear was donated by Eleanor, his widow, to a church McAuliffe favored.

Justin Bieber had a heated exchange with a DJ's tour manager at a nightclub in South Korea after demanding to hear some hip-hop, according to a report.
The Boyfriend hitmaker was attending a party at the club on Friday (11Oct13) when he asked DJ Michael Woods to change the tunes and play some of his favorite hits instead, according to Usmagazine.com.
Woods' manager Alex Madden intervened and had an angry exchange of words with the teen star before the singer retreated behind his security guards.
In a post on Twitter.com, Woods writes, "Story is @justinbieber + his army of heavy security muscled in to the booth half way thru (sic) my set in S. Korea demanding hip hop. So when I told @justinbieber to f**k off and put some clothes on he took a cheap shot at my tour manager and fled behind a wall of security."

A MAN has paid tribute to his grandfather who was the last of three brothers to die in the Great War exactly 100 years ago today.
Private William Rea, of St Dunstan's Crescent, Worcester, lost his life in the Battle of Passchendaele on September 14, 1917.
Two of Mr Rea's siblings, George and Ernest, were killed shortly before his death, although one of his brothers, Harry, survived the conflict.
The brothers were raised in Kempsey and all worked at Hill, Evans & Co vinegar works, in Worcester.
Mr Rea's grandson, Michael, aged 76, said: "William was the last of the brothers to be killed.
"He died in a hospital in Bethune [France] when he was 35. He was shot through the lungs. He left behind one kid, my dad, Reginald.
"It's a wonderful bit of history that wants recognising. It's the same as Saving Private Ryan but it's real history.
"Three out of the four brothers died in six months."
Michael Rea, who lives in Worcester, said he became interested in his family history as he grew older.
He added that his dad never told him anything about his father, who served with the Bedfordshire Regiment.
Gunner Harry (Albert) Rea was in the Royal Garrison Artillery, Private George Rea fought with the 2nd Battalion and Private Ernest Rea belonged to the Worcestershire Regiment.
Ernest died aged 21 after being shot through the head at the Battle of the Somme in 1917, while George lost his life at the age of 33 in Ypres on September 1, 1917.

Live. Love. Photograph.
Behind the Scenes
I am mostly an outdoor photographer, preferring natural backgrounds with natural light. But, sometimes our crazy Illinois weather leaves no choice but to shoot the session indoors. This was the case last week for the Birthday Boy's photo shoot, as our late-March weather was far from springlike. We wanted to do a few "cake smash" photos along with the 12 month "onesie" photos. Since Easter was a just a couple of days away, we thought we would also take a few bunny ear photos while we were at it. This was going to be a fairly long session involving a few wardrobe changes and several props! With the weather forecast in the 40s it wasn't looking good for an outdoor session. It was time to bring in an assistant or two (or three), a bag full of props, a roll of backdrop paper and turn this living room into a photo studio! There was lots of natural light coming in the living room windows, so that is where we decided to set up shop.
A couch full of props and wardrobe changes, along with a roll of white paper turns this living room into an indoor studio. We needed a few assistants to help with baby wrangling and hugging!
Baby was not impressed with his blue, sprinkly cake! Time to let the Big Kids show him how it is done! And it is a wrap!
A Girl and Her Horse.
I love listening to others talk about their passions, but I especially enjoy watching them as they pursue them! And, it is apparent in watching Katelyn with her horse, Annie, that she has found hers!
I will definitely be making another trip out to their barn to when the mud dries up and they are able to ride outdoors! And, who knows, I may even try a few lessons myself!
A Day in the Life
2013 will find me exploring a NEW style of photography. I love portraits but I really, really love photos that tell a story. Today's story was about a family on a snowy day. It was a day filled with jumping on the bed, playing in the snow, dressing up in mom and dad's wedding clothes, toast and tea snacks, spoonfuls of honey, dancing in the living room, coloring, barking dogs, tears and giggles and right before I left…. a sleepy girl on her mommy's shoulder. And as Kristine said with a smile on her face…"This is my life"! What a lucky mommy! What a lucky family! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day!

As of time of writing, there are 9 public and 16 private universities in South Sudan. Of 9 public universities, only 5 are functioning while the remaining 4 are newly instituted and have neither infrastructure nor capacity to admit students in the near future. Between them, the functioning 5 Southern universities host over 25,000 regular students, about 18,000 of which study at University of Juba. Amongst the total student population, approximately 12,000 are from Northern Sudan.Read more
Moreover, there are about 956 North Sudanese academics in 5 Southern Universities, of which 451 are based at University of Juba alone where they form 73% of the estimated 620 academic staff's total head count at that university. Nearly 700 Northerners are employed in administrative, technical, and support roles. In majority of colleges and schools in Southern universities, the number of Northern academics average 65% in all universities. In colleges such as veterinary and medicine, the percentage of Northern academics is higher and may exceed 90% or reach 100%.
On the other hand, the number of South Sudanese students studying in Northern universities is 33,000. About 5,000 of these are studying at Bachelor level; 8,000 are studying for intermediate diploma; while 20,000 are registered on postgraduate and distance education programmes. In South Sudan, about 30,000 students are sitting university entrance exams this year and an estimated 30,000 others are taking the exams in the North. Add to this an approximately 8,000 students sitting equivalent university entrance exams in East Africa, and the figure will soar to around 70,000 students who will be looking for university places in fall of 2011.

Challenges to higher education in Southern Sudan
John Akec is the vice chancellor of a newly instituted university of Northern Bahr El Ghazal in Sudan. The following excerpt from his recent post on his personal blog titled "Serious Challenges Await Higher Education in Post-Referendum South Sudan" examines some of the issues the SSMEC students face on a daily basis.

In the year of the Arab Spring, a British football team head to Egypt armed with a football and a desire to engage with local communities. But the Egyptian revolution unfolds around them forcing the team to rethink their agenda. Do they carry on with their journey into Palestine to become the first UK team to play there?
As much about an emotional journey as a physical one, Over The Wall is a fresh take on Middle East conflicts and personal responsibility bearing witness to a group of young men finding their political voice.

It is a truth universally held that I am raising a nerdy child, and am proud of it. Last night was the Kid's Choice Awards on Nick and I wondered how the results would vary from the nerdy kid perspective. So I asked my kid his opinion and here is what I found.
(To create this list I used the results of the 2013 Kids Choice Awards compared to my sons picks. )
Mainstream Picks VS The Nerd Picks
Favorite TV Show
Award Winner
Victorious: A show about a girl who wants to become a star. The show has few strong adult characters, and most adults are shown to be stupid and incompetent.
Dr. Who: A show about a time traveling alien and his companion that save the world and place a high value on intelligence, and all life.
Favorite Animated Cartoon
My kid and the mainstream both love:
Sponge Bob Squarepants: No description necessary on this one. J

Matt Smith

Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked that "you can count on me not to have a private email server" as president while speaking to the Des Moines Register editorial board on Tuesday.
Hillary was asked "what kind of White House" and "what kind of transparency" she will have "in light of your private email server." She answered, "Well, you can count on me not to have a private email server. That certainly is the case."

CW Adds Two More Reality Shows
Including 'The Frame,' which is like 'Big Brother' in one room.
The CW isn't done with its pickups just yet. Mere hours after adding three scripted shows and one reality series to its schedule, we hear that the network has picked up two more reality shows: The Frame, which Vulture exclusively told you about last September (it's the one that essentially plays out like Big Brother in one room), and Re-Modeled, where modeling industry veteran Paul Fisher consolidates hundreds of regional modeling agencies into one company, The Network. Where they'll end up on the schedule -- and when -- we'll soon find out.

The Sundance hit Zipper got its first trailer this week.
Here's the official synopsis for the political drama:
Sam Ellis is a man on the rise – a federal prosecutor on the cusp of a bright political future. But what was meant to be a one-time experience with a high-end escort instead turns into a growing addiction. His moral compass unraveling, his new demon threatens to destroy his life, family and career.
Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) stars as Sam Ellis, while Lena Headey, Dianna Agron, Ray Winstone, John Cho, and Richard Dreyfuss round out the rest of the ensemble.
Zipper marks Mora Stephens' second feature film after 2005's Conventioneers. Stephens wrote and directed the project.
Zipper hits theaters and Video on Demand on August 28.
